CHAPTER 3 mEETING A GENIUS (HIlTON)
- Peter Hilton died in 2010. This chapter, assembled by Jack Copeland, is published with the permission
of Peter’s wife, Margaret Hilton. In 2001 and again in 2002 Peter visited Copeland at the University of
Canterbury in New Zealand, where he delivered lectures on Turing and codebreaking. This chapter is
a compilation of extracts from his papers and notes left in New Zealand, together with extracts from
his unpublished paper ‘Reminiscences of the life of a codebreaker in World War II’ and his chapter
‘Living with Fish: breaking Tunny in the Newmanry and the Testery’, in Copeland et al. (2006). Parts
are also from his ‘Cryptanalysis in World War II—and Mathematics Education’, Mathematics Teacher,
77 (1984), 548–52, ‘Reminiscences of Bletchley Park, 1942–1945’ in A Century of Mathematics in
America, Part I, American Mathematical Society (1988), 291–301, and ‘Working with Alan Turing’,
Mathematical Intelligencer, 13 (1991), 22–5.
